Food Fun Facts for dad types!!!

•Adding butter or cheese or salt or whatever to your veggies so that you like them doesn’t change the nutritional content you get from said veggies.

•Additional calories eaten don’t negate the healthy benefits of food. And, stay with me here, low calorie foods are not more morally pure than high calorie foods.

•If making a food more palatable by adding butter (or whatever) is the make-or-break for someone to actually eat the vegetable, then the Brussel sprouts with butter are FUCKING HEALTHIER for you than the Brussel sprouts you don’t eat. A salad with ranch dressing is healthier for you than the dry greens you don’t eat. A sandwich with cheese and mayo is more healthy than the plain sandwich you don’t eat. The strawberry with whipped cream is more healthy than the strawberry you don’t eat.

•We actually don’t have to buy the bullshit that food that makes us happy or tastes good is less healthy.

I don't know very much about myself but one thing I'm sure of is that I cannot be trusted to use a nail gun responsibly.

[arborealgargoyle]

FALSE! there is no “wrong” way to use a nail gun. if it puts a nail in something with a cool KA-THUNKK noise then you have won at nail guns. end of story. (sometimes screaming may follow the cool kathunk noise but that is largely irrelevant to the fact that you have already won at nail guns and should collect your prize of more nails for your awesome nail gun)

[cipheramnesia]

Two things I'm sure of are that I cannot be trusted to use a nail gun properly and neither can Tumblr user arborealgargoyle.

it's okay to stray from your story. go write that short fic you can't take your mind off of! give you—and your characters—a break.

you! won't! always! make! your! word! count! -- you don't need to keep stretching sentences because the scene you finally got right is a hundred words too short. sometimes it's better that way.

the "rules" and "tips" are just ~guidelines~ (especially for people who like to swear by them) -- writing has no laws. especially first drafts. scrap the grammar, scrap the emotional tips, write it because it feels right, not because someone else says so.

every writer procrastinates. it's not easy being a writer.

take time off for yourself. the only thing harder than writing a story is to keep pushing it when you need a break the most. come back to it later. I promise there will be no dumpster fires when you're gone.

all writing is "real" writing. I don't think there's an explanation here?? fiction writers are writers. nonfiction writers are writers. fanfic writers are writers. (like how all reading is real reading!! in every format, too!)

it doesn't need to be perfect. honestly, it might never be. but it can be really close to it. if you're not satisfied with it, move on and come back when you're ready.

you are just as skilled as any bestselling author. remember that everything you read has been heavily edited by teams of people! their first draft could not even be as good as yours is now.

not using clichés is cliché. you will find one in any story. no one can bring you down for liking a certain trope. just because it's common doesn't mean it's bad!

no writer is fully well-rounded. dialogue will be easier to write for some, and description for others.

and, finally, no one knows what they're doing. trust me. we're all stumbling around blind here.

The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner

[weirdpolis]

@itspileofgoodthings:

#murder me#the princess bride#I used to think they were only good because of their chemistry and faces#(bc they actually say so little)#but the script deserves so much credit too#because even though they barely speak they say ENOUGH#and then Cary and Robin fill the spaces in between with such TRUTH#I’m obsessed with the balance in writing romance between saying too much and not enough#both pitfalls and commonly made mistakes#the princess bride strikes that balance perfectly#this exchange alone says so so so much#through their words and their expressions#the moment starts out so Playfully Hard#she’s still in her bossing him around/tossing her head at him mode#but then he stands up and looks at her Like That#and she’s suddenly caught off guard by his humanity on a deeper level#so she softens and adds the please#almost as an apology- or at least an expression of gratitude#like she knows she’s just been kind of unfair (even if just in a fun way)#and then he Looks At Her Like That Again#and says what he always says#As you wish#and he’s so deliberate with it#and it’s like- it’s like#[screams into the void]#it’s like he’s saying ‘I don’t care what you ask me to do or how you ask me to do it’#‘I will always love you and I will always do what you ask me to do’#he’s almost (almost) laughing at her a little#but more than that he’s being pointed#to let her know he loves her and look at her face in the last gif. it takes!

Me after this post:

[what-even-is-thiss]

So often allo-hetero love stories frustrate me and a lot of people assume that means that I hate them. I don’t. I’m just comparing them all in my head to the princess bride and the majority of them don’t pass the bar of believability or chemistry or entertainment that this masterpiece of a movie has set up in my brain.

[prismatic-bell]

You know what’s funny?

They never actually explain why they’re in love.

In that way, the story is very shallow.

But ARE they in love? Who could doubt it? Look at them! Look at the risks they take and the lengths they go to for each other!

[witch-niko]

Since when does love need a why? Love doesn’t need a reason, it’s the most irrational thing in the universe.

So hear me out...

[redead-red]

watching a movie at home circa like, 2001 was like

put your TV on channel 2 so the VCR will work

open up the clamp shell case that held the VHS that has that satisfying crrlikkkkkk

put in the movie

gdi it has to be rewound

press STOP and then rewind because its so much faster that way

start the movie and it takes a few seconds for the movie to actually start cause you rewound to the VERY beginning

FBI will get you if you illegally distribute or exhibit this movie

and then. because you forgot that movies are always so much louder than TV

COMING SOON TO OWN ON VIDEO AND DVD

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was Spider-Man, and I invited a bunch of other Spider-Men to what I assume was my apartment so we could have a Spider-Man party, I guess.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Does anyone have that one Spider-Man image at hand?

[rinkagamine-moved]

this one?

[one-time-i-dreamt]

No, the one with the three of them! Similar but with 3 guys.

[galladegamer]

this one?

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Close, but it was a photo, and not a drawing.

Either I dreamt it, which is a real possibility or I saw on Twitter that somebody made this edit with Ricky, Jim Bob and Ted.

[galladegamer]

wait I got it!

this one?

[one-time-i-dreamt]

That's the one!

[mysticmilks]

When I talk with non-fandom friends about my ship:

[what-even-is-thiss]

I never used to understand what “making connections” looked like but it turns out it’s standing at a party and saying “I’ve been thinking about getting into the film industry” and someone saying “Oh, Sarah works in the film industry” and Sarah yelling from accross the room “Did someone say my name?!?!?!”

[what-even-is-thiss]

You casually mention that you’ve been thinking about such and such and your professor overhears and is like “oh I know someone who works there. Do you want me to email them for you?” And you go “Sure.”

[what-even-is-thiss]

It’s the six layers of separation thing. Everyone is only so many layers away from everyone else. So if you stand in the correct rooms and say the correct things out loud once in a while eventually someone will say “Oh, I know a guy.”

[what-even-is-thiss]

And then eventually you turn into the guy that someone knows. I think. It’s hard to tell.

[erinmar13]

that literally just sounds like witchcraft

[what-even-is-thiss]

I mean what is witchcraft but just saying things out loud and hoping something happens
